I\u2019m not one to stray from\u00a0my usual flaming Hot\u00a0Fries but the lime green bag was screaming my name; I just had to get them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Growing up in South Texas, street corn is a Mexican delicacy, so I was skeptical yet excited&nbsp;to try the new flavored&nbsp;Cheetos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Afraid of being disappointed I opened the bag and the aroma made me smile. The lime green bag that boldly stated \u201cTangy- Spicy &#8211; Cheesy\u201d did not disappoint. I could smell all three elements clearly; it was enough to fool me in thinking I was holding a corn on the cob.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nervously, I tried the first chip and immediately regretted it.\u00a0The first ingredient you\u00a0taste is the cheese which\u00a0leaves an overwhelmingaftertaste and drowns\u00a0out the other flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t get me wrong it wasn\u2019t atrocious, but it was clear it could be improved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These chips weren\u2019t exactly what I imagined, I was expecting a burst\u00a0of spice and a definite lime flavor but was met\u00a0with a bland chip sprinkled with turmeric extracts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The chip itself has an odd yellow tint that doesn\u2019t make it any more appetizing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new flavor needed more spice to simulate the street corn flavor being advertised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mexican Street Corn&nbsp;flavored Cheetos have&nbsp;potential but still had a long way to go when compared to a Mexican street corn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I truly believe that if\u00a0Cheetos were to incorporate more spicy flavors,\u00a0these chips could be a hit.\u00a0Overall, Mexican Street Corn flavored Cheetos\u00a0are a solid 4.5\/10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I will pass through the Stripes in the future a little disappointed at the lime green bag.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tangy, cheesy, tacky, underwhelming Walking down Stripes, my fat heart skipped a beat at the sight of Mexican Street Corn Cheetos.
